On the other hand: we cannot increase the epoch only in EPEL4 because then the upgrade path to RHEL5 is broken (still/again). Which of the two things is worse?
The third thing. ;) Replacing a pkg from RHEL ;-P
That would only happen on update afaics.
Only because RHEL4 does not include python-imaging at all. Still, even for fresh install upgrades from EL4 -> EL5 this package would be downgraded. Anything fixed in 1.1.6 might reappear due to this downgrade. The python-imaging ChangeLog is not short.
The least to expect would be to include RHEL5's package _as is_ in EPEL4 and not downgrade it to 1.1.4 and not upgrade it to 1.1.6 either.
